I've been looking to the care and feeding of the 8V batteries I have (been) waiting to go into the truck. I cleaned out just about every store in the area rounding up enough battery clips to make jumpers to hook them together for charging. I did an experiment with the Canpulse unit on half of the batteries. I charged half of them up to 80%, then hooked up the Canpulse unit and left it on for a week. I then did an equalizing charge on these 15 batteries. These 15 came up very close on equalizing voltage.

After sitting overnight, these 15 batteries had less than 0.02 V difference between them, from 8.49 V to 8.51 V. Another thing I noticed was that none of these 15 had any of the black gunk that accumulates on the bottom of the vent caps. On the other 15 I didn't use the Canpulse prior to doing an equalizer. These 15 came up at widely varying voltages during the equalizer, ended up having up to 0.1 V difference between them, and most of the caps had black gunk on them. Haven't had time to check any of the SG's yet.

The division between the two groups was completely random, the way they were set on the floor four months ago out of the shipping crates. The SG's will give a more complete picture, but on the face of it the Canpulse works as advertised and a new set of batteries would benefit from using one of these units with them at the beginning of service.
